Pacesetter Breakfast to be held July 21

Hoagland offers help Congressman Pet«r Hoagland met with 27 Russian emigrants at the Jewish Community Center Sunday and promised to hel|^i^em resettle additional families in Omaha. Now residing in Omaha, the resettled Russians are organizing with the assistaqce of Shirley Goldstein and Miriam Simon, (Xhchairmen of the Soviet Jewry conmiittee, to help bring additional Soviet Jews to Omaha. Rep. Hoagland said he was impressed with Ihe progress the immigrants had made in finding good jobs and pointed out that it would be good for Omaha's economy to bring additional sldlled people here.

By Joanie Jacobson Federation public relations director Gerald Hoberman and Robert Kully, c(H:hairmen of the 1990 Pacesetter Division of the Jewish Federation of Omaha, announced that a Pacesetter Breaicfast will be held on July 21 at the Highland Country Club from 7:30,a.m. to 8:45 a.m. Guest speaker will be Reuben Greenberg, Chief of Police, Charleston, S.C. "This is not a fundraising event," emphasized Mr. Hoberman. "It's a social gathering of the leaders of our community. It affords us the opportunity to build a sense of 'togetherness,' knowing full well our common denominator is our Jewish heritage as well as our concern for our community and for Jews throughout the world. "In addition, because these men make a substantial investment in our Jewish community through the Federation, we feel they should receive a brief update on its current status," he said. "We all seem to go in 16

Gerald Hoberman directions at 90 miles per hour," added Mr. Kully. "Maybe to bring a group of pebple together to focus on a conunon interest and stop the high-speed pace for awhile, would be appropriate. If we came together for an hour and 15 minutes at least once a year, it would be a good investment for the; future. We could start to realize the strength we do have and determine what we might be able to do next. "Coming together can make things happen that would never happen if no one gathered," said Mr. Kully.

The men explained that Reuben Greenberg is black, Jewish and Chief of Police in Charleston. He has received national attention in the media and will share information regarding his own background and suggest some alternative strategies for rebuilding the Black/Jewish coalition since the introduction of affirmative action and Jesse Jackson. "The presentation by Chief Greenberg will be a different program than anyone else in this city could offer, " said Mr. Kully. "He's (Continued on Page 91

New Jewish elderly - fastest growing segment By Sherry Rosen NEW YORK (JTA) Demographically diverse, geographically mobile and personally active and productive :. are some of the characteristics that describe the fastest-growing segment of the American Jewish community: the new Jewish elderly. Unlike the generations of elderly preceding them, the Jewish elderly of today and tomorrow are likely to be American-bom, highly educated and retired from professional or manageijlloccupations. And also unlike their laigely Orthodox forebears, most of them list their own religious affiliation and identity as Conservative or Refonn. In light of these developments, many of today's elderly an confronting new and

There are other significant differences between Jewish and nonJewish elderly in America, differences height-^ ened by the fact that more Jewish elderly In many ways, the tend to be concentrated Jewish elderly are a re- in the middle and upper flection of current trends middle classes. in the Jewish conrniunity in general and in There is some eviJewish families in par- dence, for example, to ticu^r. suggest that Jewish elderly: Increased longevity * Live longer and in and tower birth rates better health and seek underscore the predic-. out medical care more tioi that the elderly will frequently than their increase from 12 per- non-Jewish countercent of the American paru.

As Allen Glicksman, a gerontologist affiliated with the Philadelphia Geriatric Center, has observed, being Jewish affects how people experience the aging process in a variety of ways. At a recent conference sponsored by the WilUam Petschek National Jewish Family Center of the American Jewish Committee in New York, prominent gerontok>gists, policy planners, health care professionals and Jewish communal leaders gathered to hear presentations by GUcksman and others and to explore the implications of this changing scenario.

As Professor Marjorie Cantor of Fordham University notes, while the so-called "compression of morbidity" has prolonged the period of good health for many elderly, there is also an ever-growing elderly population with severe medical problems and chronic illnesses.

By Howard Rosenberg WASHINGTON (JTA) — U.S. contacts with Salah Khalaf, a top official in the Palestine Liberation Organization, have undercut Igraeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Sham ir, five Jewish members of Congress charged. They made the charge after it was disclosed that U.S. Ambassador to Tunisia Robert Pelletreau had met at least twice with Khalaf, who is the No. 2 ofTicial and security chiefofAl Fatah, the largest of the PLO factions. Khalaf, who is often called Abu lyad, is also a top adviser to PLO leader Yasir Arafat. The Washington Post reported that Khalaf told the Kuwaiti news agency KUNA that he had been talking with Pelletreau outside of the formal dialogue. Until that revelation, it had been understood that Pelletreau had been ineeting with either Hakam Balaoui, the PLO's representative in Tunis, or with Yasir Abed Rabbo, a member of the PLO's executive fommittee.

Orthodox Jews welcome ruling on Menorah

By Howard Rosenberg

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Orthodox Jewish groups welcomed, while others criticized, the Supreme Court's 6-to-3 decision Monday upholding a joint menoranChristmas tree display in front of Pittsburgh's city .hall.

By opposing the creche, the 5-4 majority has slightly modified its 1984 decision, in Lynch vs. Donnelly, to uphold a Pawtucket, R.I., nativity scene erected in a private park near city hall, In that case, a majority of the court argued that because the display included reindeer and other ornaments, the nativity scene had a secular, seasonal purpose, rather than a purely religious one.

But Rabbi Yehuda Krinsky, spokesman for the Lubavitcher movement, called for such displays, calling on Jews to 'T)etter utilize the religious freedom guaranteed and protected by this great country." Krinsky added that Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, the 87-year-old Lubavitcher rebbe, was informed Monday of the Supreme Court decision. Dennis Rapps, executive director of the National Jewish Commission on Law and Public Affairs, which represents Orthodox groups on legal issues, said his group had no reaction to the creche decision.

The new Jewish elderly (continued from page 1) the larger communal agenda rather than treated separately.

"...let freedom ring" If it is true that a picture is equal to 1,000 words, ; then it may also be true to say that a song is worth even more. f Let's think for a moment about: My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty..." What separates the United States of America from most countries of the world is the extent of liberties enjoyed b> the people. We can move freely, assemble and protest without fear of interference by police, soldiers, or secret militia. We can enjoy all of the freedoms guaranteed to us by ; our Constitution — a brilliant document which has served us well since the beginning of this great nation. The flag of the United States is a magnificent symbol, one that we proudly salute, fly and respect. We offer our respect to the flag, not because we are ordered to do so, but because we love the flag and want to honor it. The important point to rememember is that a government cannot legislate respect. A government, national or local, can make it against the law to incite a riot, start a fire without a permit, or disturb the peace. If someone wants to bum the American flag, it is his freedom of choice to do so. Our goal should be to make this the kind pf nation where all will want to honor the flag. My suggestion to potential flag burners is as follows: * See a psychiatrist because there's something wrong ^with you. * Go to a place where youll have a lot of sympathy — that means outside the United States. . * Ifyou absolutely have to bum here, do so in the privacy of your home, because I don't believe that most Americans will 3u[>port your action. As the song goes, "...let freedom ring..."

Also to be considered are the appropriate roles to be played by agencies, family members and the elderly themselves in implementing these policies and programs. While the new Jewish elderly are concerned with such issues as housing, employment opportunities, transportation, and retirement and relocation counseling, they would also like to have these issues dealt with, to a degree, in the context of specifically Jewish services and institutions. Many, in line with the

overall contemporary emphasis on"self-fulfillment" and creative leisure activities, also show interest in various forms of Jewish learning.

Finally, research has shown that people do not "get religion" in their later years if they have not been sensitized to it in their formauve years.

At the same time, they are less interested than their parents in specifically religious concerns, such as. adherence to kosher dietary laws in Jewish facilities.

The generation of the new Jewish elderly was raised with a strong sense of ethnic identification; the generation of younger Jewish leaders and ^ professionals are increasingly orientedi towards religious selfidentity and expression.

Planners might think in terms of finding the proper balance between non-sectarian or government services and Jewish services that will meet the needs of contemporary clients without imnecessary fragmentadon or duplication of efforts.

This has already led to tension between service-providers and c lients over the degree of "Jcwishness" that should be incorporated into Jewish services and institutions.

I Court chips away at women's reproductive riglits David Friedman WASHINGTON (JTA) — Jewish groups expressed consternation Monday over the U.S. Supreme Court's decision upholding a Missouri law that m effect bans abortion, although the court upheld the t constitutionafity of its 1973 Roe vs. Wade decision. " The court has decided to chip away at women's reproductive rights by giving the states power to regulate abortions," Leonore Feldman, national president of the National Council of Jewish Women said. "In many states this decision will turn the '. clock back to the days before the 1973 and will open the door for states to abandon women's right to choose." Aileen Cooper, director of public affairs for B'nai B'rith Women agreed. "The decision was "almost an invitation of the court to states to come up with their own (anti-abortion) laws," Cooper said. The NCJW and B'nai B'rith Women, who have been fighting for pro-choice in abortion since the 1960s, said their local branches would be activated to prevent state legislatures nom adopting anti-abortion laws. Other Jewish I groups also plan to work against state anti-abortion laws.

The only support for the decision in the Jewish community came from Orthodox organizations. Abba Cohen, Washington representative of Agudatn Israel of America, said that his organization's attorneys would have to analyze the decision before making a formal statement.

Mr. Reich, who is also President of B'nai B'rith itemational, declardl: "The secret talks held by the State Department with the notorious terrorist Abu lyad are a surprising and regrettable development, the very opposite of those confidence building measures the Admini-

"We are concerned for three main reasons: "First, because Abu lyad was brou^t into the dialogue with the P.LO. furtively and without informing Israel. This can only Dreed mistrust and cast suspicion on the depth of our country's longstanding commitments to \snt\. "Second, because upgrading the level of the dialogue to include one of the most vicious munleien in the ranks of the P.L.O. can only discourage moderate Palestinians from coming forwaid to discuss Isnel'speace proposals, whicfa tne President and the Secretary of State have said tkey endorse andfupport Tfauo. because Abu IvKl has the blood of Americans oo hU hand*.

Maccabiah off to dramatic start Hugh Orgel ,.^L AVrV (JTA) — l-The 13th Maccabiah, the quadrennial Jewish Olympic-style games, got off to a boisterous, emotion-charged and dramatic start Monday night, when a one-armed war veteran raced into Ramat Gan Stadium earing the Olympic ame. The honor went to lanoch Bugin, who lost is right arm during the war in Lebanon. The exloldier took up swimming as therapy and l)ecame so proficient that he won a place on the Israeli team that went to he Special Olympics ast October in Seoul, South Korea. Bugin was the last of 500 relay runners who ;airied tne torch from Modi'in, the birthplace )f the Maccabees, where t was kindled by Gen. )an Shomron, the Israel defense Force chief of taff. Bugin's arrival brought I roar from the throats of 10,000 spectators. But hey saved their longest ihd loudest cheers for he first Jewish spoits lelegation from the Soviet Union ever to lOTlicipate in a Maccanah. It consisted of 50 Jewsh athletes from Soviet Lithuania. They

marched with the red flag of the USSR, a Lithiih anian flag, a sign reading "USSR-Lithuania" and a giant banner inscribed^'Maccabi Lithuania." The Maccabiah is attended this year by some 5,000 athletes and officials from Israel and 44 other countries. In his speech officially opening the event. President Cnaim Herzog of Israel singled out for special welcome the Lithuanian, Hungarian and Yugoslavian contingents. He also recognized participating counnies with so few Jews that their sports delegations consist of no more than a handful of athletes. Ecuador is represented by three members of a single family. Paraguay, Costa Rica, South Korea and Hong Kong sent one athlete each. The largest contingent apart from Israel's is the 520-member U.S. delegation. According to the Philadelphia-based United States Committee Sports for Israel, the American team will try to top its record- breaking performance at the last Maccabiah in 1985, when the Americans took home 246 medals. At the end of the official ceremonies, the

spectators were treated to a theatrical laser light display, a free-fall parachute jump, and a mass dance and song-andlight extravaganza by l.oOO members of the Young Maccabees. The Maccabiah hymn was rendered by Dudu Fisher, an Israeli cantor and actor who starred as Jean Valjean in the Hebrew version of the Broadway musical "Les Miserables." He was illuminated by a single spotlight in the darkened arena, when suddenly all the lights wentontoreveaJanearly scale reproduction of an East European "shtetl." Hundreds of men and women, clad in Hasidic robes, danced to music from "Fiddler on the Roof" The massive artistic display was designed in part as an "Ashkenazic-Sephardic unity manifestation." Fisher met in the center of the arena with pop singer Ze'ev Revah. He impersonated Salah Shabtai, a central figure in the popular 1%3 film "Salah,"^ which deals with the absorption of Yemenite and other Oriental Jews in Israel in the 1950s. With the sports competition in full swing Tuesday, Maccabiah officials had a thorny problem to

resolve involving Jewish athletes from South Africa. International sports regulations do not permit South Africa to be represented by an official national delesadon or to march with a South African flag. As a consequence, the South African team marched aroimd the stadium in a "rest of the world" delegation. But die games' organizers must decide what to do about South African athletes who entered events as private individuals. The International Sports Federation does not recognize any event in which a South African participates.

The announcement was made two weeks after the orchestra's longtime director, Herbert von Karajan, resigned and was replaced by Barenboim. Karajan, a Nazi Party member during the Hitler era, had refused to bring the orchestra to Israel.

WASHINGTON (JTA) — A total of 4,354 Jews left the Soviet Union in June, the second highest emigration figure for this year, according to the National Conference on Soviet Jewry. Of that number, 508, or 11.1 percent, went to Israel. NCSJ said. The highest total emigration figure so far for 1989 occurred in April, when 4j^557 Jews emigrated. "That figure was the highest since October 1979 for any one month. But the number of emigres going to Israel apparently has dropped slightly.

UNITED NATION.. (JTA) — The U.N. secretary-general issued a statement saying he was "greatly dismayed" by Israel's expulsion of eight Palestinians to Lebanon. Secretary-General Javier Perez de Cuellar called the deportations "a clear violation of the Fourth Geneva Convention and Lebanese sovereignty." But there appeared last Friday to be no move yet to bnng the matter before the U.N. Security Council. ^ The U.N. secretai7feneral said that he oped Israel would rescind its order and that "the deportees will promptly be allowed to return to their homes and families." In fact, Israel may be willing for the first time to consider allowing the deportees to return home eventually.

He is charged with kidnapping and confining 8,617 Jews in cattle cars in Szeged, Hungary, in 1944, prior to their deportation to death camps. Finta, 77, is being tried under legislation adopted by Parliament in 1987 that allows Canada to prosecute war criminals for acts committed on foreign soil. The legislation was a direct outcome of a twovear investigation into Nazi war cnminals in Canada, conducted by ^ government-appoimed commission headed by Justice Jules Deschenes of the Quebec Superior Court.

"I moved to Omaha two months ago because my husband was uansferred. We were here three weeks before he Tinally left us. What are we going lo do?," tlic woman, in tears, stated to the intake worker at Jewish Family Service on the telephone. As the story continues, Mrs. Xlberg sobbed, "I have three children, no job and my money's running out. John, my 9-year-old son, was caught stealing lunch money in school today. I can't even afford to take my 3-1/2-year-old daughter to the doctor to check how the bruises that her father left on her back are healing. On top of everything else, my parents are coming to visit this weekend, and I can't even afford food for our Shabbat dinner. My neighbor told me to call Jewish Family Service. I need to talk to someone as soon as possible, as I feel like I'm just falling apart." When a therapist called Mrs. Xlberg back that afternoon, an appointment was made for her the following day. Family therapy was recommended. After two months of weekly sessions, Jewish Family Service helped Mrs. Xlberg to find her part-lime job. John is doing better in school Jewish Family Service has provided the family with emergency food and money for doctor bills until they become more stable. Jewish Family Service has a licensed, professional staff to help people such as Mrs. Xlberg and her family, who are experiencing emotional, psychological, Tmancial and other family or situational problems.

The order will expire on Dec. 27, when the High Court is to decide whether the women may pray with the Torah and wearing tallitot. The women brought charges against Rabbi Geu last month for failing to implement the High Court's order, when 35 women gathered for Rosh Hodesh mprning prayers. They said their prayers were interruptea as soon as they began and that they showea the court order to Getz. (JTA staff writer Susan Bimbaum in New York contributed to this report.) Thei

JTS HONORS NEW YORK (JTA) — Shoshana Cardin, chairwoman of the National Conference on Soviet Jewry, was honored at the Jewish Theological Seminary commencement with an honorary doctorate in humane letters.

The AJCongress applauds the Supreme Court's announcement that it will decide whether public schools are permitted under the Constitution to give official recognition to student religious clubs. In March of this year, the AJCongress filed a petition on behalf of a Nebraska School Board in the case of Board of Education, We St side Community School v. Mergens. The petition requested that the Supreme Court rule whether official recognition by public school officials of religious clubs, required under the Equal Access Act, violates the Establishment Clause. Lower courts had

reached conflicting results on this issue creating confusion for school officials. The AJ Congress petition noted tnat The confusion over the constitutionality of the student religious clubs has spawnecT much litigation, endless public controversy, bred disrespect for political and legal institutions which interpret the Constitution in diametrically opposed ways, and has cfiverted school officials' attention from more pressing educational issues." The court's decision will, we hope, resolve the issue once and for all. Since it was first proposed and enacted in 1984, the AJ Congress has been a vocal critic of the Equal Access Act.

Supporters of hate bill seek to prevent stalling »

Seek local talent The Jewish Cultural Arts Council and KIWR radio are developing a radio program, focusing on the Jewish holidays, for NPR (National Public Radio). The program, to be called, "Bagels & Bitter Herbs " will be a two hour "special" airing in cities around the country during the weeks preceding selected holidays. "Bagels & Bitter Herbs" will combine music, (much of which will be performed by local cantors and musicians), stories and recollections about the holidays, and explanations of many of the customs and traditions siu'rounding each holiday. Local talent is needed to produce the show, which will premiere this fall. Anyone with a fond remembrance, funny story to tell or favorite melody may call Sara Juster at 334-8200, or David Paisley at 325-3254, to arrange a recording date. At a recent planning session for the program are (left to right); David Paisley, oroirram director for KIWR, Michael Wasserman, Emil Berkovits, Jill Pachman, Leo Fettman and Stanley Mitchell

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Supporters of the Hate Crimes Statistics Bill are gearing up to prevent the legislation from being stalled in the Senate, as it was last year after the House ofRepresentatives had approved it. The bill, which would require the U.S. "Justice Department to gather and publish annual statistics on crimes motivated by hate, was approved anew by the House by a vote of 369-47. Jess Hordes, Washington representative of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, said that supporters of the bill have moved earlier than they did last year in lining up Senate backing for the bill. Last year, the House approved the bill as did the Senate Judiciary Committee.

But action by the full Senate was prevented through stalling tactics by Sen. Jesse Helms (RN.C.). The Senate adjourned before the legislation could be acted upon. Helm s objected to the fact that the bill would require the Justice Department to monitor not only racist or anti-Semitic crimes, but also those motivated by hatred of an individual's sexual orientation. The legislation, introduced by Sens. Paul Simon (D-Ill.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), now has 47 co-sponsors. Hordes said efforts are being made to build up support for the bill by the time the Senate returns fh)m its current recess July 1

When I was working hard at "getting in shape," I felt good about it. Felt tired but virtuous while I stretched baum (D-Ohio), who atand warmed up; and even when I was seeing purple spots tended the White House Bobbie Epstein, Jay Lemer, and Donald Yale show the sculptures given them at the before my eyes, 1 knew they were temporary—that ^en meeting, said in a telephone interview that it Federation's June Board of Directors meeting for their leadership in the annual fundmy heart stopped pounding, the spots would go away. raising drive.
